Abstract: A machine-driven saw blade including (1) a blade body having a blade body edge with a plurality of primary saw teeth for cutting during blade movement in a first direction, the primary teeth spaced at a primary tooth pitch and each having a primary tooth tip and primary-tooth leading and trailing edges and (2) at least one secondary saw tooth on the trailing edge of a subset of primary saw teeth, the at least one secondary saw tooth having a secondary tooth tip and a secondary-tooth leading edge configured for cutting during blade movement in a second direction opposite the first direction.

Abstract: A handsaw with which chip clogging is eliminated significantly, the pitch of the tooth points kept fine rather than coarse, a large area secured for the cut end face, degradation in cutting caused by the chip clogging prevented sufficiently. The handsaw has a plurality of saw teeth arranged on a longitudinal edge (21) of the saw blade (20). The saw teeth are formed as prism-shaped teeth (30) each having a shape of a prism, which are configured such that at least adjacent prism-shaped teeth (30) rise at a same rising angle ? from the edge surface (21a) of the longitudinal edge (21) of the saw blade (20), to cause the space (S) between the adjacent prism-shaped teeth to be constant in the rising direction.

Abstract: A saw blade for use with a reciprocating saw includes a body and an attachment portion extending from the body. The attachment portion includes a tang and an aperture configured to connect to the reciprocating saw. The saw blade also includes a cutting portion formed on the body. The cutting portion includes a plurality of cutting teeth and a floor guard tooth positioned adjacent at least one of the plurality of cutting teeth. Each cutting tooth has a tip that defines a plane. The floor guard tooth extends from the body beyond the plane. The attachment portion is offset from the plane to reduce interference of the reciprocating saw with a surface while performing a footer cut with the saw blade. The floor guard tooth contacts the surface while performing the footer cut to inhibit the plurality of cutting teeth from contacting the surface.

Abstract: A double-sided saw blade, such as a hack saw blade, comprising a blade body defining a first end and a second end; a first cutting edge located on one side of the blade body defining a first cutting tooth set pattern and a second cutting edge located on an opposite side of the blade body defining a second cutting tooth set pattern; wherein the first set pattern and the second set pattern are (i) timed with respect to one another or (ii) 180 degrees out of phase with respect to one another. A first tooth of the first set pattern may be indexed relative to a designated reference point along the blade body and a first tooth of the second set pattern may be equally indexed relative to the same designated reference point along the blade body.

Abstract: A reciprocating saw blade, for use in a portable power reciprocating saw including a chuck for releasably engaging the saw blade, includes a tang having an elongated axis and being engageable with the chuck for attaching the saw blade to the reciprocating saw. The saw further includes a blade portion having a cutting edge that defines a plurality of cutting teeth. The cutting teeth define a repeating pattern of successive groups of teeth. Each group of teeth is less than about a half inch in length, and includes a plurality of laterally offset teeth, at least one relatively high first tooth and at least one relatively low second tooth. Prior to tooth set, the at least one relatively high first tooth is at least about 0.002 inch higher than the at least one relatively low second tooth.

Abstract: A saw blade, such as a bandsaw blade, has a toothform pattern that includes a raker tooth and set teeth. The bandsaw blade teeth are configured such that a distance from a tooth point of the raker tooth to a tooth point of an immediately preceding set tooth is the smallest tooth spacing in the saw blade toothform pattern. With the use of a smaller spacing, the raker tooth removes the smallest chip thickness from a work piece relative to the chip thicknesses removed by the set teeth. This reduces the amount of load imposed on the raker tooth point. In one arrangement, in order to balance the forces on either side of the blade during operation, the saw blade is configured such that an accumulated pitch of the tooth points set to a first side of the blade are substantially equal to the accumulated pitch of the tooth points set to a second opposing side of the blade.

Abstract: A saw blade comprising a series of teeth at a longitudinal edge thereof, arranged in alternate directions and formed in a tooth shape as defined by a first flank angle, a second flank angle, and a rake angle, is characterized in that the first flank angle lies between approximately 50.0° to 54.0°, the second flank angle lies between approximately 14.0° to 16.0°, and the rake angle lies between approximately 11.0° to 14.0°.

Abstract: A saw blade that includes a bandsaw body and a plurality of unset teeth having a generally uniform height. The teeth are disposed on the bandsaw body. At least some of the teeth have a cutting extension that extends above the uniform height of the teeth.

Abstract: A saw blade, such as a snow saw blade, for cutting heterogeneous, friable materials that includes a fracturing member positioned in the extending line of cutting teeth of the blade, the fracturing member providing a non-cutting impact surface projecting outwardly beyond the outermost line of the cutting teeth to momentarily interrupt cutting engagement during sawing of a surface with a non-cutting, impacting engagement therewith to shatter and break the surface as it is being cut for a more effective sawing operation of the cutting teeth.

Abstract: A method of preventing a tooth from continuously breaking in a band saw blade, comprises the steps of: moving the band saw blade to a longitudinal direction and moving the band saw blade to a cutting direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the band saw blade so as to cut a work; bringing a projecting portion disposed at a rear position of a surface of relief at the back of a tip in a saw tooth broken into contact with a bottom portion of a cutting groove in the work when the tooth breaking is generated in the saw tooth of the band saw blade; and limiting a cutting amount of the following saw tooth, thereby preventing the following saw tooth from breaking.

Abstract: A saw blade comprising a basic body (8) lying in a longitudinal center plane (9) and having an edge and including along its edge a group (6) of recurring teeth (1, 2, 3, . . . ), the group (6) comprising at least one unset leading tooth (1) being provided with a phase and having an effective cutting-edge section (10) and a preferably even number of trailing teeth (2, 3, . . . ). The leading tooth (1) has a larger height than all of the trailing teeth (2, 3, . . . ). All of the trailing teeth (2, 3, . . . ) have different plastic deformations at their tips (28) by displacements of material in the running direction (24) of the saw blade. Each of the trailing teeth (2, 3, . . . ) have both a positive enlarged rake angle (gamma.sub.2, gamma.sub.3, . . . ) and a reduced height (h.sub.2, h.sub.3, . . . ) with respect to the leading tooth (1) produced by different plastic deformations.

Abstract: A bandsaw blade includes recurring groups of cutting tooth structures which are of progressively shorter height from a leading tooth structure to a trailing tooth structure. Each of the tooth structures is either: (A) a single, straight tooth, or (B) a pair of equal-height set teeth which are set to respective sides of the blade. The leading tooth structure consists of a single straight tooth having relatively large chamfers. The last tooth structure consists of a pair of non-chamfered set teeth. The next-to-last tooth structure is either a straight, chamfered tooth or a pair of chamfered, set teeth.

Abstract: A saw blade including a basic body (1) with a plurality of unset teeth along the edge of the basic body, each tooth having a cutting edge. The teeth are provided in recurring cycles on the saw blade. Each recurring cycle has at least one group of teeth (2) comprised of at least two teeth therein, the teeth being formed symmetrically with respect to a longitudinal center plane (8) along which the basic body lies. At least two groups of teeth (2.sub.n, 2*) are provided in the recurring cycle, where the teeth of the second group are interspersed among the teeth of the first group within the recurring cycle of teeth. The teeth in the first group of teeth progressively decrease in height and increase in width from tooth to tooth. whereas the teeth of the second group of teeth are each formed identically, each tooth of the second group of teeth being wider than any one tooth of the first group of teeth.

Abstract: A saw blade with cutting wings on the teeth. The blade has a blade body, teeth located on an outer edge of the blade body, and cutting wings extending from either side of each tooth on the blade body. Each tooth is angled in a direction opposite that of the adjacent teeth to eliminate block cutting characteristics and to enhance the serrating effect of the teeth. A first wing is longer than a second wing and contains a barb that enhances the serrating effect of the wing. Both wings are beveled so that the sharpest edge of the wings is located on the outer edge of the wings. The cutting wings pre-cut a width of the material and reduce the splintering and shredding effects of the blade on the material.
